Week of Sept. 10, 2018


Braden did not send a group e-mail this week, but he sounds great and happy and busy in his e-mail to us.  Luckily we found this photo posted on Facebook by another mom.  It says these missionaries are busy working on a video about the Book of Mormon to help teach.  Love that smile.

 Hey everybody! This week has been awesome, and kind of totally crazy! I want to start with a kind of funny story. So there are two missionaries who are going to Tahiti, but they already knew French, so they only got here three weeks ago, and have been in a different district and zone from us, but will join us on Monday to learn Tahitian. But since their whole district was getting ready to leave this weekend, they were told to come and join our class yesterday. They didn't know that we didn't have class though, we had service, so they spent about three hours all alone trying to find us. And here's the funny part, one is an Elder, and the other one is a Sister. Since they didn't have companions, they were supposed to hook up with us right away so they wouldn't be alone. But since they couldn't find us, they were stuck in the situation where they couldn't be alone, but they couldn't be together either. Basically they spent the whole time awkwardly walki...

Had a great week this week! Serving with a French companion has been awesome, I'm gonna be so much better at French by the end of this transfer! Lots of good stuff has been happening here in Papara.   One good story for you all. We went to visit a reference that lived really far into the mountain, and when we got there, they weren't home, but they had three way cute little puppies that came out to play with us. We spent a couple minutes with them and then went to leave, but they would not go back home! We tried everything, we tried blocking their path, we tried running, but they just followed us everywhere we went. Finally we decided to walk back to the car, which was about halfway up the mountain to the house, and we went their and just waited to see if they would go home. Finally after sitting in the car for a while they started going back, so we drove away. But then near the bottom I saw them in the rear view mirror chasing us! Finally we had to just go find a neigbor...

Always remember . . . / Sent July 25, 2018

 Hey everybody! Another great week has come and gone here in Papara. It's funny, the longer I am on my mission, the harder it gets to write emails. I think I spent all two years of my cleverness in the first year of emails, so send a few prayers my way to keep me pumpin out something worth reading.    So, some fun changes this week. Elder Mariteragi who has been waiting for a visa to get over to Africa got the visa and bounced out yesterday, and I'm gonna miss him, but he is gonna be great over there. So for the next three weeks I am in a trio with Elder Bennett and Elder Moore, for Maraa and Papara. It is gonna be crazy trying to get all organized with two busy sectors, and two big sectors, all on bike, so wish us luck!    So about the subject line. The Assistants came to pick up Elder Matiteragi last night and we were chatting for a bit, and one of the Assistants decided to drop some heavy words of wisdom, so he put his hand on my shoulder, started with...
